What is Kinematics?
o A branch of classical mechanics that
deals with the study of the motion of
particle without considering the force
that causes them to move
o A purely descriptive study of
motion
o This will answers the question,
how object moves?
Kinematics of Motion in One-Dimension o Introduction to kinematics

Why study Kinematics?

Kinematics is a significant field of
mechanics that helps us understand how
objects move. By understanding the
concepts involved in kinematics, we can
predict an object's future motion and
solve related problems.

Kinematics of Motion in One-Dimension o Freely-falling Bodies (FFB)

Freely-falling Bodies (FFB)

▪ Freely falling bodies is an object that is falling
under the sole influence of gravity. Any object
that is being acted upon only by the force of
gravity is said to be in a state of free fall.
▪ Air resistance and other external forces are neglected.
▪ In the absence of air resistance, regardless its size
and shape, the body will fall at the same rate.
▪ Free-fall is a good example of Uniformly Accelerated
Bodies (UAB).
